My dad is getting retired in a month or two. I want him to relax and
take enough rest at home. But he is not going to listen to me for sure. So, I
thought I will get him something that will send him this message symbolically.

Okay, let me search for a tower fan. AC is fitted in the bed room. My
family always is on the run; mom works all day, dad works all day and sister is
at college till evening. So they never needed the hall other than the weekends
when they watch television. I will send a tower fan to be kept in the hall so
that my father understands that he will have to stay home, watch TV and relax
at least for a few months after retirement.

I am typing tower fan in the search bar. I get a lot of used and new
products. Now I check the option 'NEW' as I don't want to gift any used stuffs.
I see a lot of dealers and individuals selling tower fans at different prices.
I am able to compare the costs. An idea crosses my mind. Let me check if I get
a tower fan along with a free iron box. I am typing Tower fan free iron box.
Let's just give it a try. If it works out I am lucky.

Oh! Wow. I have a dealer selling tower fan with free iron box. Let me
click on this. I am checking the features of the ar cooler. I am okay with this
product. I have two options; either I can click reply to this ad and give my
contact for them to call me or I can call them myself. Let me call the guy
right away .

'Hello! I saw your ad and got your number from Quikr.com. I would like
to order a tower fan.' I said.

'Which are do you want it to be delivered?' the lady at the other end of
the line asked.

'Chrompet. Is the iron box really free?'

'Yes, Madam. It is absolutely free.' she said with a marketing tone.

'I am just checking. When can you deliver the product?' I asked
anxiously.

'On Friday we will deliver the product, Mam.' she said.

'Okay. Note the address.' I told her the address.

Trust me, the purchase was done. Quicker with Quikr. I never thought it
would be so easy.

I just spoke to the dealer. He agrees to deliver the product at the
given address on Friday; Tower fan with a free iron box. Wonderful. This is as
simple as making maggie; Ordered in two minutes. Quikr is just QUICKER.

Now that I have ordered something for my dad I will order something for
my mom too. After all, She is the one I love the most in the whole world.

She makes chapathi every single day. Only after I started cooking
I understood the difficulty in making chapathis or rotis. Specially the
flattening and putting it in the pan was difficult. We will have to stand there
for half and hour to one hour to make a few chapathis. So, let me get my mom a
chapathi maker.

Wait! My mother in law get equally tired making chapathis. Both the moms
need something to make their job easier. I am sure they will both love this
chapthi maker.

I am checking the prices. A product worth Rs.1200 impresses me. But I
can only buy for 1100 each to fit it in my budget. Let me try calling this guy
and bargaining.

I am calling the guy right away to check if he can give me an offer as I am
buying two roti makers.

'Hello. I found your number in Quikr.com.' I said.

'Yes mam. How can I help you?' he asked.

'I would like to order two roti makers to be delivered to Chrompet. Is
it possible?'

'Very much mam. We can deliver it by Friday.' he said.

'But what's the price?'

'Rs. 1299.'

'That's okay. What's the last price?' I asked hoping that he will give
an offer. Before he could answer I said 'I am getting two of it, right?'

'But mam...' he didn't sound so convinced.

'There are lot of other dealers selling the same product on Quikr. Let
me check them, then.' I said in a bargaining tone.

'What's the price you suggest mam?'

'Rs.1000 each.' I said knowing well that no seller agrees to first price
quoted in a bargain. They will want to meet at the middle and I want it for
Rs.1100.

'Mam, but that's not possible. Reducing so much is really not possible.'
he said.

'Okay. Let's meet at the middle. Rs.1100 and that's final.' I said
confidently.

'N mam. We will give you two roti makers for Rs.1250 each but we will
want a hundred rupees as a shipping charge.' he said.

'Thanks'

I disconnected the call and tried another dealer. Surprisingly, the same person selling the tower fan sold Chapathi maker at Rs.1100 (that's exactly what I wanted it for.) I called them and made a deal to give all the four products at Rs.5000. She agreed.

I am so happy. It took me just 5-10 minutes to order a tower fan with
iron box and two chapathi makers that too with a given budget. A lot of
products can be go bargaining, depending on your bargaining skills. We get to
speak to the dealer directly for bulk orders unlike other e commerce sites,
where the cost is fixed. I loved shopping with Quikr which was really
QUICKER.

ON FRIDAY:The items were delivered to my house. All of them are happy with these gifts. Thank you Blogadda and Quikr.
